A rare fungus that grows ‘tentacles’ and smells like rotting flesh has been spotted in the New Forest.

Devil’s fingers fungus has sprouted in the national park after hatching from a slimy, gelatinous ‘egg’.

Glowing red, the plant is very eye-catching plant but is fairly rare in the UK, according to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.

    And apparently it’s not toxic. It just tastes and smells awful!
